Coach Chris Gares says he is proud of the team for their accomplishments.

“I am just so happy for our kids. Their hard-work and effort have led to tangible success this season. There is success that is not tangible that I think experience a ton of in track at Southern Boone, but to have so many kids walk away from state with medals is an excellent feeling.¨
